by areas bringing whatever equipment they have to help clear roads and houses. yeah, i've been here under come. when i arrived here, it was a disaster, or the entire road behind me was covered in branches and brick con, all mashed into one up to these types and you couldn't access, noting left and right. and we didn't know what we'd find in the rubble, and we were warned that we might come across bodies and that we should let the fire brigade and the police, the police. i am all many towns are still cut off some major roads of flooded or broken apart. germany defense minister, who called to the army to make rescue efforts a top priority. as late as share the shock at the ferocity of the disaster. this is the target to get us. it is a tragedy that so many have lost their lives. it leaves me stunned dimensions on

the land. many people in our country feel for those who are grieving for their loved one with commerce. i'd like to express my sympathy to those families and my thoughts with the authorities say overflowing dams could still bass, threatening more homes enforcing residents to stay away while the weather has cleared in some areas. more rainfall is expected. that cost over to kate martyr in val. port sean kate, you've been on the scene all day. what is the latest where you are? so i was also hey, the whole day today and the whole day yesterday. and today's bethany a day from a clean up effort, which is as you can see, definitely going on behind me. and now some of the main roads have been closed by have been cleaned up by some of the big machinery. but now people have decided to town their attention to the interior of that home. and it's really,

really sad to see as you walk through the streets. people have just entirely empty their entire contents of piles of bricks and there's a table full of people records and people do a covers and very pos and all items that usually only you ever see inside of home and never covered in so much much yeah. today is definitely a day where people are returning attention to the home and they're going inside and really being able to grasp the sense of the absolute sense, but damage not just to the village, but that might as well. no doubt, there are dozens and dozens of sad stories where you were standing right now. have you been talking to people affected by the flooding? and what are they telling you? so just actually spoken to you one couple here and they're both you 32 year old young professionals, wife says she help disabled children after school in the nearby city of bon. and

they kindly showed me inside the home and they showed me how high the water level had come up. and they pointed me around the home and said that that bedroom and this is where the home office was and that's a kitchen where they just bought a washing machine 2 months later. and now it's completely destroyed. but that's, that's really the least of that worried. because they also didn't have, they've had from their insurance company that they had not actually insured for their kind of water damage. they don't own the houses and the renters, and they didn't think we would need this kind of damage at kind of damage cover cover for that home and not to invest those because they said they don't live near the river. the water never comes to high up either, and they're worried about how they can meet that cause. we've been hearing reports said over a 1000 people are still accounted, unaccounted for in the neighboring region. how reliable is that number and have conditions eased enough to enable rescue workers to locate some of these people

for you? that is a really good question because it is a really, really high figure and it sounds quite scary, but i do want to caution with that because here in the region in the valley, the phone signal and the internet connection is incredibly bad at the moment because of the flood, flood water damage. so people have actually been very unable to contact people and therefore it's making it difficult to realize who's, who's missing. but some of the villages nearby as well, actually inaccessible because of the roads. some of the roads have actually been swept away and people are unable rescue. teams are unable to actually really get to the villages set by helicopter. so they're trying to really get a bit better picture of the number of people who are actually missing and they're unable to do that right now. because at some of the villages that just really difficult to reach with the big machinery that they would need. now that most of the water is gone is your any assessment of just how widespread in serious damages

so i have spoken to your a few other residents here. and one resident lauren told me that the damage for themselves, personally, for their belongings not heard, would run up into the millions. many of people who have told me that they've got that cause they just don't have the insurance or they're looking at very high tech . but people said that themselves, they haven't really what, through the kind of ask themselves to them really began adding another layer of concern on top of that by looking at the financial cost as well. there's definitely something that everyone is thinking. that's the deal we reported kate motor in balance. shine much thanks. one of the organizations of providing assistance in the floods is germany's technical relief agency, the t h w. it's a disaster relief agency made up almost completely volunteers. i'm joined now bye guillermo graham from the th w headquarters in bon welcome to d w gamma. how many people does your agency have assisting in this disaster right

now? and where are they exactly? i case for having me here. so, so far it still has deployed about 2000 dedicated volunteers to assist in the various operations going on. and so yeah, and these, these, these volunteers are from most parts of germany, actually since we are federal agency with nationwide, nationwide network volunteers. but most of the list, their sponsors, obviously focusing on the run and palatine and ordering was failing. what did they focus on focusing on in terms of their actual activity? is it rescuing people or repairing infrastructure? and so it's, it's, it's really, it really kind of spends entire palet keeps w's capacity. so you have obviously the main focus is this is reaching the people that have not yet been able to be reached

by emergency response staff. or yes, to make sure that the people on accounting for and for like you do have a large number of different pumping operations going on stabilizing structures that have been damaged, removing rubble, water, purification, or for drinking water for the people who have been affected and evacuated, that's really the, the full pallet of both to show this acid chemo graham from germany's technical relief agency. many, many thanks. thank you. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. at this, our united kingdom has reported more than 50000 daily groan of virus cases, the highest since mid january, despite the massive surgeon warnings from british and international scientists. authorities in england or to lift all non travel corona virus restrictions. on monday. more than 100 people have died in

a week of riots and looting in south africa. the army has sent in thousands of soldiers restore order. the rest followed, the jailing of former president jacob's duma. it's the worst violence since the end of apartheid. a russian passenger plane that went missing during a flight in siberia has been found according to state media. the anton off aircraft made a forced landing on its way to the city of thomson authorities say, all 18 passengers and crew survived. well, lebanon is facing a deepening political and economic crisis, the prime minister in waiting so weird, it is stepping down. after failing to form a new coalition, there's been no government for a year. the last administration collapse following the deadly explosion at bay route port. earlier we spoke to d. w correspondent basil reading and asked him why it is so difficult for mcgovern,

according to the designated or former prime minister. now, in an interview last night with a look in the tv channel, he said that the reason behind this have you to 1st of all, that the nice guy presidents refused to take the cup in, at the, at the line of 44 minutes, which considered how do you by how do you know that it is the, the, the best government or the best cabinets to do that. you want to take the baby. and it's like the 2nd that mind, the main obstacles, the events on his son in law. but under the, for much, mr. refused to do this. does that, how did he would name to of the christian minister so that his will not use his side? how do you the accurate in his interview last night? his will law that he didn't enough question before the new government. so this is what based on how do you do? on the other hand, we have from other obstacles, which is all of us that the current division,

the crises in. and it's still hard for anyone to take to have that it's so it is. it was like mission. dozens of protesters marched against the tokyo olympics with the opening ceremony just a week away. public concern remains hind. despite the organizers banding spectators from venues. several athletes and staff have tested positive for cobra. 19 officials are urging the public to stay home and watch the games on television and a bit of a new limbic mystery. a member of the uganda and the weight lifting team has gone missing 20 year old julius sec. it's a lake or failed to show up for a corona virus test. the authorities are now trying to find him. athletes and officials have to take regular tests and follow rules on where they can go. the nonetheless, excitement is building before the opening ceremony. in 2019 the self sudan running

team went to japan to acclimatize train and pursue their olympic dream. 2 years later they are still there. d w, as chris harrington has more than the sell sudanese team got a head start when they came to japan and even low cobra 19. put the games on hold for one year. the team never left. what's the reason why we have to see the mission we came for is never done. over the past year, the team have immerse themselves in japanese culture. they've taken language lessons and are part of the local community, thanks to donations in tax revenue. the teams host city, my boss, he raised $300000.00 us dollars to support the athletes. some of it even came through this vending machine. but being far away from home, this challenging of things,

something. then you have to be always ready to be no matter what this is. so 15 can do this for my country. mean that i am, i am 2nd for anything we've been my time with the family or was she tokyo 20. 20 will be the 2nd appearance at the olympics for south sudan, the nation. only 10 years old. our cove in 1900 special is next year watching dw, the the site against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus? because a 19 special neck on d, w. d was right in front of them. they gave it.

then suddenly, we agreed to postpone the olympic games that tokyo with $22421.00. thrown off course during the qualifying ground. not for sports heroes. i'm fired up and ready to count down during lockdown. lock you go to tokyo, starts july 19th on w, the ah, the fax vaccines need police escorts is assign a value of the hot commodity. that also goes to waste me as much as 30 percent of vaccines are thrown away in some countries. the reasons, very storage and logistical challenges, as well as the type of files and syringes used. innovations could in the waste

and it was all nice to have you on some countries have had to throw away thousands of jobs. others like finland, a fine shooting the vaccine campaigns to ensure every last drop counts. it's putting the nation way ahead of others. at this vaccination center, around 3000 doses are prepared and administered every day. it's around 40 percent more than should be possible with the supplies available. that is because a finish invention makes it possible to make a little bit effect seen go a long way. the person behind the creation is nurse sorry, rose, who was among those starting colbert vaccinations in december last year on 180. and to see if that if that we don't want to throw away any viable vaccine. if it's been, it has become paramount the years to vaccines as i cannot meekly as possible. especially after some of them were limited to certain groups. only rooms works in

a public hospital but volunteered to do extra vaccination shifts. she find you and her technique within the 1st few days of preparing the doses. why? his cellphone? who am i saying that? once i noticed that exchanging the syringes and getting rid of excess error in the equipment, guaranteed to extra doses of faxing. i sent an email to our medical director. he quickly contacted house authorities about it. everybody was very excited. so thought i thought rosa technique requires syringes with a one millimeter capacity and small scale. the syringe is 1st fills vaccine, but just enough to get the required vaccine dose. in addition, a bit of air is drawn from the vial, bottle into the syringe. finally, the air and vaccine inside the syringe, the to swap places before the vaccine is administered. the air bubble technique

maximizes the amount of faxing that is extracted from each mile. for instance, it makes it possible to prepare 7 instead of 5 by intake doses, as well as 12 instead of 10. astrazeneca though, sees health experts made a rosa's technique, their official recommendation for cobra, the vaccination in the country in january. despite its benefits, norway is the only country to follow finance footsteps. medical director, democrat pan from the city of helsinki so far hasn't had the time to advertise the method globally. some teaching materials have only recently been translated into english. club bodies, 313. i think this technique can be copied to other countries to, to be able to vaccinate 40 percent more people on originally projected. it's simply incredible. and among robert for the world to reopen, however, there's not enough to vaccinate people in just one country. while nations such as

finland are continuously easing restrictions, other parts of the world are only starting their own vaccination campaigns. i think he city medical director team or look at it and join us. so team all should the rest of the will be watching our show very closely today. truly, we are, we are in dire in dire need of vaccines and of course, every, every box dean can't explain to us again then how exactly this, what you're talking about precision equipment. but getting the right type of quitman is extremely important. starting with what, what sort of syringe do we need to know? there are different sorts of syringes with low dead space. others with high dead space that a lot of that vaccine gets wasted. it gets stuck either in the syringe or in the needle itself. what sort of syringe do we need? first of all we started to think nick, it's actually a b

d if you're you only need small enough range. that's why i mean that is, the range is enough because at the end, given when the best thing is given, the data space can be kind of, it doesn't matter when you have the air properly and over there to be used to push out the back to the from the, the range and then what sort of a needle do you need? it's a small map. well basically it's a small, smallest possible, neater neil what, which can handle there in itself. so small die meter long enough to be able to get a pen a. so there's not enough problem with the needle in a way and what about what it comes to the vile that that you get the actual vaccine in? yes, the vials are a little bit different story. first of all, if it's of course, you have to be good with the hygiene by don't down behind, there's a different amount of doses in each vile. you might get 6,

you might get 8. so you have to be precise that you, you, for every dose you take every vaccine you create from the multi multi dose file. you make sure that every every vaccination, every job you're going into the case to the patients are truly for so that you get the precise dose. so you cannot accept kind of are less than precise amount of dozing if, if that's not enough for the doses, then there's not enough. so there are so many little steps where this could go wrong, and we're talking about human error here. why not just go for a single dose while where it's all pre measured and pre dosed and you have nothing to worry about? well, those files are much easier to produce, i think, as well as the distributed around the vocally. so we refer pre,

made a pretty dosed theories, isn't and create with needles in, in, so that are ready. but there's not, there's no such thing at the moment available for college. yeah. it's all a race against time. in the meantime, you can other countries, i mean, is there anything holding back all the countries from repeating what you guys are doing, right? replicating the method that you've discovered? i don't think so. it's basically all that you needed. the rise, the reference precise working and the process around around the vaccination center that you get to take care that you have the precise amount of that kind of the patients you're vaccinating this in of them as well. because if you, if you count that there's only 5 doses coming from the while and you get sick and you only have 5 patients coming in,

then the one dose gets wasted anyway. so we have to take care that there's also patients around. it's also a lot to call for now, but for the vaccines global best practice, is there a possibility of maybe some day thing that needles the right needles are always use the right syringes are also use that we get some sort of global best practice definitely in a way, if we use this more, that was biles, but when it comes to pre pre manufacture it, sir inches with needles attached to their threat, there's not much to do anymore, but if you use more the dose miles than of course, it's kind of a technique can be applied to different scenes as well. okay, fantastic therapy on the show today, tim will look at it and i think he city medical director, an excellent news and nice insights about that local hero of yours. you'll have to pass on my congratulations. thank you. and we will now here's derek williams

with his take on best things. vials and waste out of your question. ball. why aren't injected vaccines manufactured as a single unit instead of having the vaccine in the syringe separate? this is a great question. one that i've never really actually considered before. right now, most vaccine manufacturers are filling and shipping. multi dose biles of vaccine that contain between 5 and 15 doses on site at the vaccination center or at the doctor's office. staff then have to painstakingly draw them into syringes and a complex time consuming series of steps where, where a lot could actually go wrong due to human error and, and there are a lot of other issues with the bio system not least that once the seal on one has

been broken, all of the doses in the bio has to be used quickly. leftovers can't just be stuck back in the fridge for use later so. so since everyone is getting their own syringe anyway, why aren't machines just pre filling them directly as a single unit, instead of putting large batches of doses in vials 1st, prefilled single shot syringes are already the norm in some parts of the world for, for vaccinations, against other pathogens, but there appear to be 2 primary reasons why the older vile system has been the method of choice so far for the mass cove at 19 vaccine rollout. the 1st is speed with manufacturers churning out hundreds of millions of doses. it's simply faster for them to score 10 at a time into

a single vile than it is to fill 10 separate syringes and with the pandemic in full swing, getting as much vaccine as possible out there has been vital. and the 2nd factor is cost until now single dose prefilled syringes have been more expensive to produce but, but many manufacturers say that's changing. and that, that pre filling syringes is actually more efficient because then you don't need millions of medical grade glass files. so. so when demand for cobra, 1900 vaccines begins to slow. i think that you can expect prefilled syringes to grow in popularity because they have so many advantages. me and some other stories making years in asia has reported a regular increase of 1025 cobra deaths. that brings the total number of fatalities

for more than $71000.00. the southeast asian country has been struggling to cope with a new wave of infections. and fights of bio tech colored vaccine is on track to become the 1st foreign jap approved in china. chinese regulators have completed an expert review of the m r n a vaccine. china will set to use the drunk as a booster for those who proceed to shots and made vaccines. and so watching, stay safe and see you again soon. ah ah, ah. the news,
